Kathy Redmond, founder of the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes,
said athletes have a sense of entitlement toward women at CU. She said she has
worked with alleged victims of CU athletes.

"Players are taught that women are objects, commodities, and that if you
come to this school, you get women, you get sex," said Redmond, who received a
$50,000 settlement from Nebraska after she accused a football player of rape in
1991. The player was never charged.

The panel, appointed by the Board of Regents, is investigating allegations
that sex and alcohol are used to entice football recruits to the Boulder
campus.

At least eight women since 1997 have accused football players of rape,
though no charges have been filed. The state attorney general is heading a
separate investigation to see whether criminal charges are warranted.

Peter Steinhauer, chairman of the university's board of regents, did not
immediately return a call for comment.

Suspended football coach Gary Barnett, who shook his head at times while
Redmond spoke, said afterward he didn't want to respond to specific
allegations.

Barnett, who will address the panel Tuesday, is on paid leave for remarks he
made in connection to two of the allegations, including disparaging the
athletic ability of former Colorado kicker Katie Hnida, who said she was raped
by a teammate.

Steve Lower, president of a Denver striptease company, Hardbodies
Entertainment, also testified Monday. He said CU players hire strippers from
his company for recruiting parties once or twice a year, but the university has
never paid.

"Whether the coaching staff turns their back on it or they don't, they
honestly don't have anything to do with these parties," he said.
